Hello again folks
I have been playing further today. REAL FUN
I am winning now!!
I post first of all, the story i began to write yesterday while i was playing this great Dack's "scenario" (Is that correct in english? I am Catalan, from Barcelona)
Here it goes...
The tale of President Dani August
As i began playing, i noticed the gold mines near Exeter, and the low military power of we English people. I was determined to rule the English and lead them to Civilization finesse
the game started there!
My first move was to inspect all the cities production roster. I, as a promise to the English of future military domination, changed all the universities and cathedrals, not still needed in conatruction to military units, like musketeers and cannons, plus the Ironclad HMS August, which was fleeted in the east coast of the English Islands. As future came to English people, I hit return and went to the next turn.
I have been developing techs, and building up the great Hoover Dam to give energy to all cities in English Islands. I have been attacked by a ironclad unit, where i am building the hoover dam, in London, my Capitol!! The ironclad was blue
I suspect Germans. (I would find later them to be French, the worst scourge in the world
)
At the same time, the ironclad HMS August has discovered two big and fertile islands to the east
thats the good news. The bad news, they have been reported as not desert but habited, and at least one city has been spotted. HMS August sent radio reports about destroying units of phalanxes and cavalries
I am planning colonizing these new lands, because the English Islands are not safe now. Strange sailing artifacts called Submarines sail north of London , free to roam. While I was deeply concerned one new came to my relief. We could use Steel now and so, Battleships were at our disposal. I sent immediate orders to London to a Battleship to be built when the Hoover Dam was finished.
Then came the armor, disembarking near London. I was terrified!!. I tried to gather up my resources. While taking profit of the inner citie's newly built factories, I began to send first musketeers, later riflemen, and invest in city walls. I was considering to lower my tech rate (0.5.5 usually, or variations of 10 or 20% around that) so as to build my city walls faster
when travelers told us about the development of the Manhattan and Apollo projects.
Then my decision was made. We would smite the French with nuclear weapons.
-pause in real life, to have lunch and see TV with girlfriend-
-I resume here since i wrote no more yesterday-
With the battleships, i soon found the norther big continent, that seemed to be torn by a war between the Babylonians and Mongol invaders (my eastern neighbour) I managed to capture two big coastal cities, even a French one using nuclears and disembarking with riflemen (just developed).
All got worse when the french began to build their spaceship like mad, building 4 or 5 structurals in the same turn. They even launched it. I was nearly hopeless when i found a new continent, where orleans and other big french cities stood. I quickly nuked their inner cities and bombarded from the sea their coastal ones. With 3 years left to reach ALPHA, we entered Paris and the Spaceship returned to Earth, unable to reach its goal.
Now the things are different, we are in posession of Paris, the capitol city of those French, and Mongols are on the rise. I shall try to finish fast the french and leave the zulus, mongols and aztecs nerfed but alive.
I shall keep reporting, and of course, post my saved game!
